Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise (plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste (natural)

Flavor Enhancers

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)

Sweetness and Acidity

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon natural sweetener (maple syrup or agave)

Consistency

  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (e.g., pectin, agar, or carrageenan)

Instructions

  1. Combine the Creamy Base: Start by placing 1 cup of plant-based mayonnaise in a medium bowl, creating a smooth and rich foundation for your sauce.
  2. Add the Flavor Enhancers: Mix in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste (natural), 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder (natural), onion powder (natural), and smoked paprika (natural). Stir gently so all spices blend evenly without clumping.
  3. Balance with Sweetness and Acidity: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of natural sweetener (maple syrup or agave) into the mix. Whisk thoroughly until the sauce becomes smooth, with tang and sweetness harmonizing beautifully.
  4. Adjust Consistency with Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of natural gelling agent a little at a time while whisking to reach a thick yet pourable texture that clings to your favorite foods.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld beautifully. Serve as a dip, drizzle, or dressing and enjoy!
